ACT-2027 rolls out grassroots drive to secure Northern Christian votes for Tinubu

The Arewa Christians for Tinubu 2027 (ACT-2027) has announced plans to mobilise Christians across Northern Nigeria in support of President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition ahead of the 2027 general election.

The group’s National Coordinator, Ambassador Ayuba Jacob Ngbako, said the organisation would combine grassroots mobilisation, zonal prayer meetings and youth engagement initiatives to strengthen support for the president.

Ngbako, who also serves as a Federal Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), disclosed the plans while commending the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for his infrastructure projects in Abuja.

The coordinator, however, urged Wike to complement his development efforts with greater attention to youth empowerment and political inclusion, particularly by creating opportunities for qualified young people and political stakeholders in the FCT.

He argued that increased youth participation in governance through empowerment programmes and political appointments would strengthen grassroots involvement and support the implementation of the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

As part of its political mobilisation strategy, ACT-2027 plans to begin a series of zonal prayer breakfasts in the North-West on November 14.

The programme will subsequently move to Bauchi and either Jos or Lafia before culminating in a grand prayer breakfast in Abuja.

Ngbako said the gatherings would provide an opportunity for Christians to pray for Tinubu, national unity, peace in Northern Nigeria and the country’s overall development.

The group is also working with youth-oriented platforms, including the National Gbagyi Youth Integration Festival for Tinubu Renewed Hope 2027, which covers Niger, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Kogi and the Federal Capital Territory.

Other platforms identified by the coordinator include the FCT Abuja Youth Participation Action Community (FAYPAC 2027) and the Gbagyi Youth Association in Abuja.

He said the initiatives would encourage political participation, strengthen community engagement and create awareness about government policies and programmes.

Meanwhile, Ngbako disclosed that he is chairing the editorial board of a forthcoming book titled Meet President Tinubu and His 52 Managers of Economy.

The publication is expected to examine the administration’s economic policies, reforms and the contributions of key government officials and institutions, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Revenue Service, RMAFC and Nigerian National Petroleum Company.

He said the book would provide information on the government’s economic direction and the officials responsible for implementing its policies, while helping to address what he described as misinformation surrounding the administration.

The publication is scheduled for launch in Abuja in December, with Ngbako appealing to stakeholders, including Wike, to support the project.
